Just as the HTC DROID DNA was the first Full HD handset announced, and still the only one you can buy, the HTC M7 is expected to sport the highest pixel density in its class, with a 4.7" Full HD screen, clocking in at the eye-watering 468ppi.

The other speculation is for a quad-core processor, 2 GB of RAM and a 13 MP camera on the back, which we wouldn't be surprised to turn out a Sony Exmor RS sensor, given how everyone but LG is rumored to use Sony's unit this year.

The handset is also likely to be the first one carrying the streamlined, minimalistic new Sense 5.0 interface, and we'll be sure to let you know firsthand how everything looks and feels come February 19.

For me neither, after owning an LG Optimus 2X i would never get back to LG, the phone was nice but the software was awfull, not to mention LG took more than 1 year for them to release ICS for it, which i got tired of waiting for it and sold it.

Maybe they should have chose a different manufacturer that will give them the code... LG should have done some negotiations before accepting to use the rubbish tegra 2 cause it's tegra that benefit from others using its chip.

I don't think so, htc m7 would also be announced in asian countries. In fact not all countries that htc is selling got the butterfly. In hongkong there is no butterfly, the flagship is one x+. BTW Htc butterfly successor was htc j

Specs are nice but what about battery size and internal memory? I think HTC is gonna launch this phone just like the DNA and have no expandable memory and a 2100 to 2500 man battery which means a big fail for them. I'm hoping HTC proves me wrong.

HAHA thumb me down all you want. The simple fact is that a product can have the best specs in the world but if you don't include basic features then your going to have a hard time selling product. If it has an sd card slot and a very large internal battery/removable battery were good. If not i stick with my Nexus.
In this day and age people are using there phones for more then calling/texting ie Facebook, Youtube, streaming musc or watching movies. To top it off the carriers are pushing the benefit of data use and how you can do things i just mentioned. The more and more media we consume leads to more and more data used which in turn kills your battery. So if you have all your media on a card you save on date which means you save money.

I never said it was HTC's fault the the DNA didn't have an SD slot and even if Verizon requested the phone be built that way HTC could have said NO. Also keep in mind ibwas saying that the M7 may end up being similar in that it may not have a large battery or an SD slot. That's why my statement is pure speculation as no one has been able to confirm if it has a larger battery/SD card slot. For all I know they could release it with a large battery and different memory sizes and or removable memory.
The best scenario is all the above mentioned specs plus 16 GB internal memory with SD card slot and a 2500 to 3000 mha battery.That would give the consumer more choices and hopefully in turn people buy more HTC phones.
